According to Childminding Ireland, the National Childminding Association, there are an estimated 88,000 children cared for by childminders in Ireland. However, not all areas have the same level of need for childminding services. Here are some of the factors that may influence the demand for childminders in different locations:

  • Population size and density: Larger and more densely populated areas tend to have more families with children who need childcare.
  • Availability of other childcare options: Areas with more childcare facilities, such as full day care, sessional services, or after-school clubs, may have less demand for childminders.
  • Affordability of childcare: Areas with higher incomes and lower living costs may have more parents who can afford to pay for childcare services.
  • Preferences of parents: Some parents prefer home-based childcare over other types of services, or vice versa, depending on their personal values, beliefs, and expectations.
